Playback Modes & Menu Options

A typical playback screen as viewed on the color LCD. Icons shown
for battery condition (both graphical and time left in minutes),
image size and quality, picture number / total number of pictures. Across the bottom
is the folder name, image file number and time and date.

While viewing a picture fullscreen you can toggle the telephoto zoom control and
zoom-in to the image in multiple steps up to 5x. Once magnified you can scroll around
inside of the image using the 4-way selector.

While in Index mode you can call up two pages of image information, the first screen
displays the aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation and ISO speed.

The second information screen displays the metering, flash mode and the white
balance setting.

Playback index mode, nine thumbnail size images are displayed per page. You can quickly
search through the stored images and display one fullscreen.
